Chapter 1747 — Chapter 1747 Second Ancient Seal

[I was carried to the Fifth Heaven by an NPC!]

[We somehow reached the Fifth Heaven?!]

[Nine players were carried to the Fifth Heaven by a mysterious NPC!]

Such titles quickly reached the first page of the biggest forum on all Cultivation Online things related, shocking the players who saw them.

"I didn't know we could use NPCs in such a fashion!"

"How can we be certain that individual was an NPC and not a player?"

"If it had been a player, the Fifth Heaven would've been accessible to the rest of the playerbase once cleared."

"Given how difficult the trials are, there's no way a player could've carried nine people through the Stairway to Heaven!"

"Player Yuan might have the capability to do so."

The nine players who had been carried by Yuan quickly became the center of attention, attracting a flurry of interviews and offers from top factions and influential families eager to purchase information about the Fifth Heaven.

"Looks like he successfully reached the Fifth Heaven." Wang Xiuying smiled after seeing the news.

Meanwhile, Xi Meili was the next to challenge the Stairway to Heaven.

After training with Kelan for three years, she increased her cultivation to the peak of Divine Warrior, allowing her to breeze through the Stairway to Heaven.

"Defeat 100 opponents." A nonchalant voice resounded as Xi Meili entered her final trial.

Soon, a hundred peak Spirit Enlightenment cultivators appeared to hunt her together.

'Is this what it felt like being hunted by humans back in the day?' Xi Meili wondered inwardly as she swiftly defeated the cultivators one by one.

After defeating all one hundred cultivators, Xi Meili passed the trial and ascended to the Fifth Heaven.

"Congratulations."

Yuan appeared before her with a smile on his face shortly after she entered the Fifth Heaven.

"It was really fun and not too difficult," she said with a prideful look on her face.

"In that case, I assume you'll also want to climb to the other realms by yourself."

Xi Meili nodded, "Yes, it's a great method of training."

They proceeded to wait for Lan Yingying.

"Defeat your opponent within thirty minutes."

Lan Yingying had to face an opponent at the peak of Spirit Enlightenment while being at the same cultivation herself.

Not even five minutes later, Lan Yingying proceeded to the second trial. "Survive for fifteen minutes."

The sky started raining down swords a moment later.

Sometime later, Lan Yingying also passed all of her trials and entered the Fifth Heaven.

Xi Meili and Yuan appeared to congratulate her shortly afterward.

"My trials were quite simple when compared to your trials. My expectations were affected by your experience." Lan Yingying said to Yuan.

Unlike Yuan, who receives detailed and unique trials, everyone else faces straightforward tests that primarily assess their combat prowess and other skills relevant to the cultivation world.

"What are your plans now?" Xi Meili asked. "Straight to the Sixth Heaven?"

"We can give it a try." Yuan nodded.

However, just as Yuan made this decision, he noticed a shift in the space around them.

"Dong Ye?" Yuan muttered. "Oh? You actually noticed me?" Dong Ye appeared the next moment with a surprised expression on his face.

After acquiring an understanding of the power of the void, Yuan could instinctively sense someone using it around him, and Dong Ye just happened to be an expert in the power of the void.

"Is this how you get around without people noticing you? Because of the power of the void?" Yuan inquired.

He nodded, "Yes, and not to brag, but not many can match my understanding of the power of the void in the Nine Heavens."

"Is that so? Anyway, did something happen? I tried calling you before, but you didn't respond. Now, you appear out of nowhere." Yuan then asked.

Dong Ye rubbed his eyes and sighed, "Let's just say that the Celestial Emperor has increased his efforts to find me. I think something has happened, but I am not sure of the details just yet."

Hearing this, Yuan revealed, "It might have something to do with me. The Celestial Emperor is now aware of my identity."

"What?! How did that happen?" "Are you aware of the system used by the players?"

Dong Ye nodded, "I am aware of its existence and abilities to some extent."

"Good, then you should grasp the situation easily."

Yuan proceeded to explain his situation—about how the Celestial Emperor removed his access to Cultivation Online to prevent him from entering the Nine Heavens.

"I see… In that case, we should also begin our arrangements…" Dong Ye muttered in a low voice after learning of the situation.

"What arrangements?" Yuan asked.

"Ah, it's something prepared by your incarnations. I won't go into specifics since it might affect your fate."

Yuan had never fully understood Dong Ye's reluctance to share details about his past lives, despite his loyalty and the fact that it had been a direct order from his incarnations. However, after learning about Fateful Reincarnations from Xu Jiaqi, everything finally made sense.

Knowing Yuan's identity as a True Reincarnator, Dong Ye had to be exceptionally cautious with the information and assistance he provided so that he would not interfere with Yuan's fate in unintended ways.

"Because of that, I will have to leave for a bit, so I won't be able to watch over your friends for the time being." Dong Ye continued.

Yuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, my friends are currently training with someone trustworthy in the Seventh Heaven." "Ah, but there will be someone to assist you while I am away. They were hand-picked by me after a rigorous screening," said Dong Ye.

"Are they aware of my identity?" Yuan asked.

"They are aware of your identity as the Evil God's reincarnation, but that's the extent of their knowledge. Don't worry. They're very reliable and trustworthy."

"I'll take your word for it." Yuan nodded.

"One more thing before I leave. I have found the identity of the second Ancient Seal holder. They are currently in the Fifth Heaven, and he is the Dragon King of the Shen Family."

"Dragon King of the Shen Family?" Yuan raised an eyebrow after hearing this familiar name.
